Fett: The dreams are back

(I’m only responding since I have the image handy)

Yeah, Ming-Na blew out her knee at the end of season 4 of AoS. She was still rehabbing it at the beginning of season 5 when the show (hilariously, to me, because it was a brilliant solution to the problem) jammed a piece of rebar through Agent May’s thigh in the first episode to give Ming-Na an excuse to limp around…

Sure the old EU was weird but the thing about it is that fans reminiscing about it now tend to forget the whole issue that 99 times out of 100 the weirdness was... well it was utter shit.

It’s funny, as soon as I saw Rodriguez was the director I immediately understood why the coverage of the fight scenes looked like a rehearsal. The guy shoots everything like it’s a 3 camera sitcom, but with one camera, with complete disregard to making anything look convincing.

I am always bemused by people who insist an episode of something is filler or throwaway when they haven’t seen the rest of the story yet. It’s a seven episode story. You don’t know where it’s going yet, or how the pieces are going to tie together. Slow your roll.

Space sharks with lasers on their heads. Go big or go home.

“Put fucking Capt. Solo in the fucking cah-go hold!”

That’s not what happened. The shield people used the shields to form a circular phalanx that enclosed Boba and Fennec. As soon as the bodyguard monsters started attacking from behind, they had to necessarily drop the perimeter and the formation.

Is it me or the Tusken that fight Bobba Fett is female Tusken. Did they end up sleeping together? And yes Fett’s cloth and gaffi stick definitely belongs to that Tusken Raider.

Hopefully the weak-ish action was Rodriguez and not the fact that it is two people around 60 years old performing the action. I thought the Parkour scene was the most fluid, but that was probably a stunt double and not Ming-Na Wen.

SPOILER things I noticed and liked:

Hi! I’m Nick and I’ll be reviewing The Book Of Boba Fett. My qualifications are talking about Star Wars to the point of annoyance to anyone near me for the last 40 years.

it feels as if escaping the thing should either be equally weird, or not depicted at all, and become another legend spoken in hushed tones about the indestructible Boba Fett. Here, it’s just a guy punching his way out of a meat cave.

“Jabba ruled by fear. I intend to rule through the best selection of comfort food in the galaxy.” 

Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed when this wasn’t the restaurant comedy I was hoping.

I know writers who use droids, and they’re all cowards!

This is the kind of world building Star Wars needs. If they want to keep going back to the OT, then they need to do more to add to the lore like this show does. If they had only gone back to Tatooine without contributing anything new, I would drop the show. But they’re showing more of Tusksan culture and how things…

The fights were totally screwed by COVID protocol. Remember this was filmed before vaccines were available to the general public. Notice there were a lot of masks in use in the episode. It picked up when Fennic fought the 2 people in the end.
